Gods discussing the fate of humanity – it’s interesting that they have different opinions – “I am against it”.

I find the one bit of non-speech distracting. I understand why it’s there, to emphasize that this is indeed a “blue and green planet”, but it seems odd that it’s the one piece of non-dialogue.

Perhaps that reference could appear at the end, suggesting that now the conversation is over, we move away from speech. Something like: “Before them, the blue and green sphere turned on, oblivious.”

That’s a rubbish sentence but something along those lines maybe?

A very interesting little read. I approve. :)

I disagree with Spiderj. I think I could have done with a bit more outside the dialog. With this many people involved in the discussion I was a little put off by not knowing who was speaking but that there were several people in on the discussion.
That being said, the dialog works well for the premise.

I do not disagree with THX’s disagreement! Although I thought not knowing who was speaking, or even how many gods are actually involved in the discussion, quite effective. I can’t really pin down why though.

This looked to me like a pure dialogue story and I didn’t feel that one descriptive sentence was necessary. But I think THX’s approach is a fine one too!
